Victoria Statue

The money for the statue was raised by public subscription, with about one-third being raised in the city of Chester, and the remaining amount from elsewhere in the county. Its total cost was £1,360 (equivalent to £|r=-4}}}} as of ), excluding the cost of the foundations. Frederick William Pomeroy was selected to be the sculptor; he had recently created the effigy of the Duke of Westminster in Chester Cathedral. The bronze statue was made in the foundry of Hollinshead and Burton in Thames Ditton, Surrey. The designer of the stonework was Harry Beswick, and the stonemasons were Haswell and Sons of Chester. The statue was unveiled on 17 October 1903 by Wilbraham Egerton, 1st Earl Egerton.

The statue is in bronze, and depicts Queen Victoria standing, and holding the orb and sceptre. The figure stands on a pedestal of Stancliffe stone and a base of granite. The figure is about 1.65 m high, and the pedestal is about 1.70 m in height. On the sides of the pedestal are the arms of the city and the county. On the north side of the granite base is an inscription in lead reading as follows.
